Shelf Life Of Liquor
Cleaning out the cabinet for a party tomorrow and I ran across several bottles of opened liquor 3-4 years old. The liquor in question is Gin, Rum,and Bourbon and all are 3/4 the way full. Are these still good? I realize this is alcohol abuse.....

I think the same rules apply as skunked beer. It becomes guest liquor.

Old spirits are fine stored in the original bottle.

I just don't want to make anyone ill with bad stuff. Unless they just plain drink too much and then it's just not my fault.

So sorry to hear that. Just box it up and put it on the porch and I will be right over to take that off your hands.

As stated, with Baileys I'd be concerned. With what you listed, there shouldn't be a problem.

If you're worried about it, just buy some Kool-Aid and a clean five-gallon bucket. INSTANT PARTY.
